I realized today that along with the job change, the move and going back to school I have also unknowingly been detoxing my ego. I didn't even realize that was possible or nesscary. But the more I thought about it the more it made sense. I have always thought of ego as a bad thing - and for me it was. I also realized today that my ego has been so high for so long I don't know what a normal ego looks like. I had increasingly focused on the power and authority of my career and not the quality or impact of what I could achieve. Now that I have adjusted my focus and completely changed the direction of my life, I have sent myself into ego detox.
Detox sucks.
But I have a feeling that the humility that is going to come out of this process is going to lay the foundation for some deeply rooted contentment... and the hope of that makes me smile :)
